The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 American biographical black comedy, based on the life of Jordan Belfort. It recounts Belfort’s perspective on his career as a stockbroker in New York City and how his firm engaged in rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street, which ultimately led to his downfall. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, with praise for Scorsese’s direction, the comedic performance of DiCaprio and the fast-paced and consistent humour. It has also been criticized by many as glorifying the infamous individuals and immoral behaviours portrayed in the film. It is one of the most amusing and appalling films around. This Wolf makes you wince, think, laugh – and growl.
